Most trivial change in your life time...

[Arch]

Ok, so most of us on here at least predate the internet, and mostly I guess we've seen the introduction of personal computers, colour TV, man on the moon, etc...

But what's the most trivial change you can think of, in your lifetime. I only ask because I was making a sandwich earlier, and realised that margarine always used to come in round tubs, and now they are nearly all oblong....

 

[Bollo]

Marathon to Snickers

 

[Paulus]

Opal fruits to Starburst.

 

[wafflycat]

Washing up liquid going to hour-glass shaped bottles (sort of) instead of normal round tube shaped ones

 

[graham56]

Walkers putting cheese and onion crisps in blue packets, when they always came in green packets.

Bu99ers up the Blue Peter models, dont it.

 

[Greedo]

Wagonwheels halfing in size!

 

[Paulus]

Crossbars, suddenly becoming top tubes?

REAL money to decimal coinage.

 

[John Ponting]

Large white £5 notes giving way to beer tokens.

 

[marinyork]

Electronic goods going all black, then silver, then black and so on.

Libraries going from libraries to book rare breeds centres and computer media centres.

People never having their drives redone to concreting over entire gardens.

no, you see, I think that's a bit too major.... Good call from waffles on the washing up liquid!

(I suspect the renaming of confectionery is a whole thread to itself....)

 

[Chuffy]

The use of the word 'sack' as a verb when someone is made redundant.

I'll grant you that and raise you

Jif to Sif

(or is that the wrong way round )

 

[Crackle]

The use of the word 'sack' as a verb when someone is made redundant.

Is it not the other way around

I hate it when they change packaging. I can never find the stuff on the supermarket shelves as my brain is programmed to look for a different colour or shape.
